Ben Needham cops investigate claim he was SOLD by Roma gypsies while on family holidayJan 26, 2015 20:09 By Adrian ShawHis tragic disappearance happened nearly 24 years ago when he was just a 21-month old baby

British police searching for missing Ben Needham, who vanished during a family holiday in Greece nearly 24 years ago, have been given a dramatic new lead.

It came after a businessman gave the name of a Roma gypsy family he claimed boasted that they had snatched and sold Ben, who was aged 21 months at the time.

Now South Yorkshire Police are probing the claims after they were given £700,000 by the government to step up the search.

The new lead features claims that Ben was stolen and spirited away under boxes of fruit.

The name of the family was given to the Greek equivalent of TV’s Crimewatch - Alpha’s Light at the End of the Tunnel - which ran a half hour item about Ben on Friday.....full story at link.

Fingers crossed something comes of this.
